John's 3rd Week

This week's graph looks like a left-toppled 7. I gorged in celebration of the end of a cold, cold January, and jumped 2 lbs. I have spent the last week getting back down to where I began the month. I give myself a C+. I like graphs because to me they are both psychological carrot and stick. This last week's graph reminded me how much easier it is to gain pounds than to lose them, and leaves me wondering why God doesn't just tweak a few natural laws to make the physics of metabolism a bit more congenial. On the flip side, my graph also gives me the great satisfaction of visualizing a nice downward trend. Sometimes I just sit and contentedly stare at my gently sloping red line, and warm to the knowledge that I am so easily entertained.
